Food photos

Have just read a BBC article about photographing your food in restaurants. I hadn't realised that I have a trendy holiday habit. So far I've not been banned ,but then again I haven't been to New York.
The tips could equally apply to the "smug trug" photos showing off the bounty from our gardens and allotments,although many of the blogs that I read seem to have mastered the art already.
